mme_hardy I had noticed that my topiary rose was being very crudely pruned, all the flower heads snipped off. I was feeling pretty cranky at the gardeners and thinking "What, are they using a hedge trimmer?"
Last night at supper, my son: "Last night I woke up with a nightmare that somebody was trying to get into my room. Then I found out it was a male deer eating plants and knocking his horns on my window.
Me: Everybody needs to start closing the gate when they come into the house.
Son: No good; when he finished eating, he jumped over the gate.
Our gate is under an 8-foot garden arch, which means that the deer was doing some precision jumping there. I'll have to do something -- maybe tie a string with flags at 7' or something.
